SILS Chairs Meeting Debrief

• Plan for Policy & Practice Coordinators Approval of training materials

  • JT is on PPC and will help us coordinate

Responses to Ex Libris Questions:

1. Question about Alma Essentials trainings remaining available after Q1 deadline:

   • These will be deprecated at some point, but ExL doesn’t know when. More info to come.

   • Marci’s goal is to leave Alma Essentials training alone but create a separate to do list for the new end-to-end workflows (after Test Load).

New changes to Alma Essential trainings (basically AE3)

• There will be more of a switch to end-to-end workflows rather than trainings on all of the current options in Alma. These new workflow trainings will be useful for the IT team for the latter half of the project. Global delivery and Training are working together on this (documentation, KB, etc.). More details to come.

Chairs will be meeting with EUO Chairs next week to make sure that all training areas are covered and identify any gaps and who is responsible for those gaps
